Ethan had the amazing privilege to be born on my grandpa’s birthday… February 18th. When I was pregnant with Ethan, Grandpa would always say to me… “you need to have that baby on my birthday”. I really didn’t think it would happen since Ethan was due a week later and I just figured he would come late since he was my first. But to our delight, Ethan came one week early and fulfilled my grandpa’s request. When we were headed to the hospital on February 18, 2005, all I could think of was … “today is grandpa’s birthday and we’re not going to be able to go out to dinner with him… but I’m sure he won’t mind”. He came to the hospital that day and was overjoyed to meet his “birthday present”, Ethan. Everytime we would visit him he would always introduce Ethan… “this is my birthday present, Ethan”. He was so proud his great grandson was born on his birthday! And we are too… what a special man to share a birthday with.
Grandpa would have been 95 this year.
What a good looking pair.
